Studio Museum 127, 429 W. 127th St.
On view at Studio Museum 127, Harlem Postcards is an ongoing project that invites contemporary artists of diverse backgrounds to reflect on Harlem as a site of cultural activity, political vitality, visual stimuli, artistic contemplation and creative production. Representing intimate and dynamic perspectives of Harlem, the images reflect the idiosyncratic visions of contemporary artists from a wide range of backgrounds and locations. Each photograph has been reproduced as a limited edition postcard available free to visitors.
This season, the featured artists include Salome Asega, Leslie Hewitt, Expanding the Walls participant Skye Mayo, and Fred Wilson.
Harlem Postcards Summer 2019 is organized by Mia Matthias, Curatorial Fellow, and Hanna Girma, Curatorial Fellow.
